  • Annual Shetland Pony Sale – Lerwick 2011
    ANNUAL SHETLAND PONY SALE – LERWICK 2011 Shetland’s annual show and sale of Shetland Ponies was held on Thursday 6th and Friday 7th October 2011 at the Shetland Rural Centre, Lerwick. Entries for the sale were down on previous years with 133 ponies entered in this year’s catalogue. In particular there were fewer colt foals and fillies entered than usual meaning that the majority of ponies offered for sale were filly foals. Top price at the sale went to Mrs L J Burgess for her standard piebald filly foal, Robin’s Brae Pippa by HRE Fetlar, which realised 600 gns to A A Robertson, Walls, Shetland. HRE Fetlar achieved a gold award in the Pony Breeders of Shetland Association Shetland Pony Evaluation Scheme. The champion filly foal from the previous day’s show, Mrs M Inkster’s standard black filly, Laurenlea Louise by Birchwood Pippin, sold at 475 gns to Miss P J J Gear, Foula. Champion colt foal Niko of Kirkatown by Loanin Cleon, from Mr D A Laurenson, Haroldswick sold for 10 gns to Claire Smith, Punds, Sandwick. Regrettably, demand and prices in general were poor and some ponies passed through the ring unsold. Local sales accounted for a good proportion of trade as did the support of the regular buyers that make the annual trip from mainland UK to attend the sale each year. The show of foals on Thursday evening was judged by Mr Holder Firth, Eastaben, Orkney and his prizewinners and the prices that they realised, if sold, were as follows: Standard Black Filly Foals Gns 1st Laurenlea Louise Mrs M Inkster, Haroldswick, Unst 475 2nd Robin’s

  • Records of Species and Subspecies Recorded in Scotland on up to 20 Occasions
    Records of species and subspecies recorded in Scotland on up to 20 occasions In 1993 SOC Council delegated to The Scottish Birds Records Committee (SBRC) responsibility for maintaining the Scottish List (list of all species and subspecies of wild birds recorded in Scotland). In turn, SBRC appointed a subcommittee to carry out this function. Current members are Dave Clugston, Ron Forrester, Angus Hogg, Bob McGowan Chris McInerny and Roger Riddington. In 1996, Peter Gordon and David Clugston, on behalf of SBRC, produced a list of records of species recorded in Scotland on up to 5 occasions (Gordon & Clugston 1996). Subsequently, SBRC decided to expand this list to include all acceptable records of species recorded on up to 20 occasions, and to incorporate subspecies with a similar number of records (Andrews & Naylor 2002). The last occasion that a complete list of records appeared in print was in The Birds of Scotland, which included all records up until 2004 (Forrester et al. 2007). During the period from 2002 until 2013, amendments and updates to the list of records appeared regularly as part of SBRC’s Scottish List Subcommittee’s reports in Scottish Birds. Since 2014 these records have appear on the SOC’s website, a significant advantage being that the entire list of all records for such species can be viewed together (Forrester 2014). The Scottish List Subcommittee are now updating the list annually. The current update includes records from the British Birds Rarities Committee’s Report on rare birds in Great Britain in 2015 (Hudson 2016) and SBRC’s Report on rare birds in Scotland, 2015 (McGowan & McInerny 2017).

    CITATION NESS OF CULLIVOE SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST Shetland Islands Site code: 1217 NATIONAL GRID REFERENCE: HP552024 OS 1:50,000 SHEET NO: Landranger Series 1 1:25,000 SHEET NO: Explorer Series 470 AREA: 11.07 hectares NOTIFIED NATURAL FEATURES Geological: Structural and metamorphic geology: Moine DESCRIPTION: The Ness of Cullivoe is a small peninsula which projects into Bluemull Sound from the north east of the island of Yell. Most of Yell is composed of rocks which are believed to be related to rocks in northern Scotland known as the Moine. Underlying these are ancient rocks similar to the Lewisian gneiss found in the Western Isles and along the north west coast of Scotland, whilst to the east the rocks forming the western sides of Unst and Fetlar are younger and are correlated with the Dalradian rocks of the southern Highlands of Scotland. All three groups are metamorphic rocks, i.e. rocks which have been altered by intense heat and pressure. The Ness of Cullivoe lies within a geological unit known as the Hascosay Slide - a zone of intensely deformed and sheared rocks, up to a kilometre wide, which marks the boundary between the Moine rocks of Yell and the Dalradian rocks to the east. The Hascosay Slide Zone mainly comprises fine grained, banded blastomylonite; a type of rock produced by intense shearing under very high temperature conditions deep in the Earth’s crust. Caught up within these fine grained rocks are large bodies of coarse grained Lewisian gneiss. The rocks of the Hascosay slide provide important evidence about the geological evolution of Shetland and the formation, around 430 million years ago, of the Caledonian Mountain Belt of Britain and Scandinavia.
